There is something fundamentally when the celeb is so dominant when it comes to choreography in the training room. I think she is beautiful, talented and very ambitious - and I think that's why she comes over as humourless. It is like this is just another job for her, not a learning experience.

Before she started dancing I was dreading seeing Kelly on the show as I can't stand her mother, but I really like her. Unfortunately her dancing just isn't good enough for me to want her to win.

It might be fair to say that Dmitry and Mya should not resort to these tactics when she clearly can dance, but if other, less able dancers will include these elements to gain votes, why shouldn't she?
For me, what is more shocking is that Kelly has made it to the quarter finals and has only danced ballroom in week one.”
WOW! I hadn't realised that! Definitely bad organisation by the producers. There was uproar on the SCD board last year when a celeb (John Sergeant), didn't dance a fast Latin until week 5.
I think Mark is a better dancer than Aaron and Kelly and although I agree he did a lot of crowd pleasing stuff, when he did dance I thought it was very elegant for a man with great lines, quick, neat footwork and lovely arms. I think he lost votes because of Lacey tbh. He would have done better with another pro I reckon.
